What does this do, in layman's terms, if I am going back to my local authority? I remember being on Cork City Council, and one of the biggest issues that we had with rates on valuations at the time was the time it took. I remember when we were trying to balance budgets and cut services, we were waiting months, if not years, to get valuations done. I remember a number of big developments in Cork on which we were waiting on valuations to be done. That had a direct impact on the local authority's budgets. I understand the work that was done on the valuations. It needed to be upgraded, but what will these amendments do, in layman's terms?
